Thanks to all who responded. I find it really interesting that just about 
everyone agrees to put these things into sysstc, an idea that got vehemently 
vetoed by the 'head WLM developer' when I suggested it in a lengthy conference 
call.

Thanks to Peter Hunkeler for the good stuff about Unix. I will take me some 
time to absorb that! :-)

Exactly. That's what I would like, too.

Well, that's what I am attempting to do. Did I mention that the vendor is IBM? 
And that the product is developed in the same location as WLM? In Germany, no 
less?
Unfortunately, my boss adopts the attitude not to do anything until there is a 
problem. And then we get yelled at because we did not take 'pro-active' 
measures (to use a buzzword). So I am yelling right now (at IBM, via complaint).

>(Did I mention velocity was a bad idea?)
Even the developer said that, of course not as bluntly as you! :-)

Best regards, Barbara
